The "Do It!" image came via Meade who saw it at Magnificent Ruin and IM'd it to me, where it appeared in my iChat window right under the Saul Steinberg "Don't," which I'd IM'd to him after he IM'd me this Saul Steinberg "No!," which he'd IM'd to me because of my first post of the day, quoting Bob Dylan, asking about that carried-in-arms daughter who always told her father "no," which I blogged about because Meade had started singing "Tears of Rage," a song that mentions Independence Day, which it is, and which — fittingly — embodies the spirit embodied in "Do It!"

"DO IT!: Scenarios of the Revolution," is a book by Jerry Rubin — Introduction by Eldridge Cleaver — which you can buy at that Amazon link. That's the Simon & Schuster publication, but in the poster image above, we see the tiny logo — in the lower right-hand corner — for a different publisher: Erectile Press. Erectile Press?! Maybe that was the hard-cover edition.

If you love your country, then do not support the GOP ticket. Vote for the re-election of the greatest POTUS of our times. He will be on Mt. Rushmore one day. Schools, airports, hospitals, libraries, etc. will be named after him. You want to have memories, don't you.

I heard Jerry Rubin speak at my NY college in 1968, a powerful speaker, driven, the scariest man I'd ever encountered. His main pitch was to take over the educational system, the very young being the recruits to anarchy.

He later became an "entrepreneur and businessman" but died after jaywalking in LA and being hit, probably by a republican.

The N used to be an M.. a dome where where you could DO IT from one end to the other.. from eanywhere you could go up and adown again.. but then someone changed and the connection was severed and a sinkhole opened up..

I spent the better part of two days with Rubin and Kuntsler when I was trying to become a radical. I was the leader (or a leader or something) of a student group that they were trying to ride on an issue of some notoriety. Rubin was a stitch, given to self deprecation. He seemed actually interested in the people around him. He seemed capable of doubt. Kuntsler was a self centered narcissistic asshole of the first rank. Doubt was not part of his universe.

A really little bolt, like zzzzt electricity, not a big ass lightening bolt, no, nothing that big. Okay maybe bolt wasn't a good word, more like a little bitty zzzt.

Applied to social change. It is up to the little man stepping to assure all the 'don't' sayers that the apostrophe will hold, that all is well. It is fixed there and the chasm is nothing when you skip right over, come'on, I'lk lead the way, he mus say, skip skippity skip, right over the T and onto solid ground. boink Follow! It's fun over here.

Why can't you just create a woman out of someone's rib or jaw bone maybe.

Yeah, the jawbone of an ass--like Ms Oops.

And why does Ms. Althouse let that delusional Lefty scum keep commenting using the name of God? Would she let someone use Bob Dylan or Steve Jobs? Or her own name? It does inspire me to make a better chipper/shreader but still. . .

Give up the crack, Oop.He is the god of the Left, so not God at all. If he's like to come see me, we can settle it once and for all. And if you feel your bush burning Allie, it's probably just another STD you've picked up.

Indeed, I have been censored by Althouse + Meade already in the past... I think it had something to do with me repeating, at at inopportune point in the comments, something or another.

But, you see, I support Althouse. I am a BIG FAN, whether she believes it or not... I think she is the most interesting blogger in the blogosphere. The best way for me to show my appreciation is by putting forth the opposing opinion...

Which entails commenting under the name of "God", for instance...

Would you really ask that Althouse censor someone simply because of the name they choose? Seems a silly, trivial reason... doesn't it?

If so, you would seem to be a freedom-of-speech weakling... and un-American too, even on this most American of days...

"Funny as Hell" is an apt exemplar of the distortion of Leftist thought. Maybe you can tell us how funny it is when you get there.

Belive or don't believe. But respect the sacred nature of God for those who do. It worthy of a ban. You think that you're the first smug Lefty that has used that tag? Think again. At least be an original asshole.

I, too, spent a day or so with Rubin in 1969, as a reporter for a campus radio station (tapes of interview long since lost, I'm afraid). Still have my autographed copy of Do It! as a souvenir - always good for shock value with Republican friends. Kunstler wasn't there (though I met him on a couple of other occasions), but a number of key radicals were.

From sitting around smoking dope and drinking with with the bunch, I agree completely with your assessment of both Rubin and Kunstler.
